Choose an Enrolled Agent for expert Non-Profit Tax Help
Having an Enrolled Agent on your team means your non‑profit is guided by a federally authorized tax specialist who focuses exclusively on tax matters. Enrolled Agents are authorized by the IRS to represent taxpayers in audits, appeals, and collection matters, which gives your organization year‑round support beyond just filing a Form 990.
For tax‑exempt organizations and 501(c)(3)s, an Enrolled Agent can interpret complex IRS rules, advise on how activities and revenue sources may affect your exempt status, and structure your financial reporting so your Form 990 tells a clear, compliant story. This helps reduce the risk of penalties, protects your tax‑exempt status, and offers your board and donors greater confidence in the accuracy of your filings.

Form 990 FAQ for non‑profits in Montgomery County
Q. Does every 501(c)(3) have to file a Form 990 every year?
Most tax‑exempt organizations recognized under section 501(c), including 501(c)(3) charities, must file some version of Form 990 annually, unless they qualify for an exception such as certain churches or small organizations eligible for the 990‑N e‑Postcard. Not filing for three consecutive years can result in automatic revocation of tax‑exempt status.
Q. How do I know whether my non‑profit should file Form 990, 990‑EZ, or 990‑N?
The required form generally depends on your organization’s gross receipts and total assets. Smaller organizations may file Form 990‑N (e‑Postcard), mid‑sized organizations often file Form 990‑EZ, and larger organizations must file the full Form 990. Aventa Tax can review your revenue and asset levels and tell you which form applies.
Q. What happens if my non‑profit files Form 990 late or misses a year?
Late filings can lead to IRS penalties based on the size of your organization and the length of the delay. If your non‑profit fails to file any version of Form 990 for three years in a row, the IRS will automatically revoke your tax‑exempt status. Professional help can reduce penalties and guide you through reinstatement if needed.
Q. What information and documents do we need to provide to prepare our 990?
Typically, you will need bank statements, financial reports, donation and grant records, payroll or contractor details, a list of board members and officers, and descriptions of your programs and activities. If bookkeeping is behind, Aventa Tax can help organize and clean up financial records before the 990 is prepared.
